Was watching Sky sports news yesterday and an advert for bridgestone tyres came on...i am convinced the music for this advert is a version of 'Come down on me'

anyone else seen it?

Haven't seen that one, but I've noticed the same phenomenon. On Finnish TV there's one commercial (that I think sells frozen wok-vegetables or something similar) that uses a total rip-off of Around The World by DP. I also recall one that rips-off a Fatboy Slim tune (can't remember which though).

Just saw a sunglass commercial with a lame remake of Spybreak. This seems to be pretty common.
